Dear Members of the HISTLING-list,<br>
<br>
I am a Belgian PhD student working on the history of
post-saussurean<br>
diachronic linguistics. The aim of my research is to write a
synthetic<br>
study of the main theoretical findings and problems in historical<br>
linguistics since 1929 (publication of the "Thèses" of the
Prague<br>
School), comparing different theoretical orientations. Roughly, I
am<br>
presupposing three main groups:<br>
- structuralism/functionalism, e.g. the Prague Circle and the
French<br>
School (Martinet)<br>
- Generative Grammar (King, Kiparsky, Klima,...)<br>
- Historical Sociolinguistics (Weinreich-Labov-Herzog,...)<br>
I am still putting together a corpus of representative texts, and
in<br>
doing so, I've compiled a list of general introductions (manuals,<br>
readers,..) to historical linguistics, in order to see which<br>
authors/texts are frequently cited. So far, I have the following

My question to you is: could you point out textbooks/manuals/...
that<br>
I've overlooked? Any other suggestion as to the delineation of a<br>
representative corpus (other theoretical orientations,...) are more
than<br>
welcome.<br>
Thank you for your time<br>
Kind regards<br>
